Blush

"Stare at You" - NKOTB

I've had so many songs drift in and out of my head in the last day or so that I didn't even get a chance to blog them all down...so let me back track just a little bit.

On the morning of Jan. 22nd, I woke up singing a newer release. One that many may not be able to admit they know and even like because of the band's former reputation. But I ain't ashamed to say that I was and still am crazy over New Kids on the Block (NKOTB)!

Regardless of what the whole "boy band" genre stereotype may be, it's still jaw-dropping to see a group of guys singing their hearts out! Especially if they're 5 boys from Boston with sexy yet subtle accents and a lot on their minds!

Sure, their lyrics aren't poetic. It's not difficult to rhyme together with forever.

And maybe the lines aren't the most original: I could be here with you, doing whatever...

But...

It's sweet and sincere. Catchy and adorable. Fun and lighthearted. And it doesn't take much to woo a teenage girl anyhow even though nowadays (almost 20 years later), we girls are now 30-something year old women who still crave a reason to blush. The boys may be all grown up, but it's nice to know that their romantic spark didn't fade away with time.

Lyrics:

I still get lost, caught in a daze
Tongue tied, just like the very first day...
I saw you and I'm so amazed
Cause the look that got me twisted still hasn't changed

Your sexy eyes never lie,
Baby, I lose myself (when they open)
Girl, forget about goin' out
Baby, I'd rather not (so, I'm hoping)

I can just stare at you forever (oh, baby)
I can be here with you doing whatever (my lady)
It's not the way you look that brings me to my knees,
It's the way you look at me
I could just stare at you forever
If forever you were staring at me

What do you see? I can't figure it out
You're talking to my heart without making a sound
I can't lose when I'm caught in your eyes (I feel like superman)
Got me up in the sky

Your sexy eyes never lie
Baby, I lose my ground... (you're so gorgeous, oh...)
Girl, forget about goin' out
Baby, I want you now...

I can just stare at you forever (oh, baby)
I can be here with you doing whatever (my lady)
It's not the way you look that brings me to my knees,
It's the way you look at me
I could just stare at you forever
If forever you were staring at me

Baby, keep the lights on
I'm gonna stare at you all night long
And we'll keep rocking 'til the sun shines
Waiting 'till the moonlight to do it again

I can just stare at you forever (oh, baby)
I can be here with you doing whatever (my lady)
It's not the way you look that brings me to my knees,
It's the way you look at me
I could just stare at you forever
If forever you were staring at me

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

Alter Ego

"Dancing in the Dark" - Tegan & Sara (Original by Bruce Springsteen) There's nothing like a set of twin sister lesbians to start my day right. At least that's how they were introduced to me by my co-worker as we sat inside a what-used-to-be-white PT Cruiser (it needs a car wash like no other). We were driving up Alvarado street passed MacArthur Park and Korea Town when this duo first came on. It was a bit soft at first, but I couldn't remember which song it was now that I think about it. I asked him who it was and he said their names so fast I thought he sneezed! It's funny how I discover things when I'm not looking. Anyway, he mentioned he loves covers and that these gals are known for doing pretty cool ones. However, since I'm not much of a fan of duplicates I was a little skeptical at first. I like originality, but lately I've been trying things on for size to see how well they fit. Going with the flow. Expanding my picky taste buds with ...
